Can magicians solo Ice Burrowers?

Ice Burrowers have a huge HP pool, and hit hard. If you were just chaining pets, you would run out of mana long before the Ice Burrower died. You need to keep the Ice Burrower aggroed on you so it will chase you, and your pet will safely attack the Ice Burrower from behind. Another reason for this strategy is Ice Burrowers have a nasty aoe proc on attacks, so this strategy prevents those AoE procs from happening.

Yea actually with the way that aggro transfers on P99 even if you dont do any damage the pet damage will sweep over to the mage. Normally horrible but in this case you dont want that mob on the pet at all.

Chain summoning in this case might be the best way to keep it off the pet but you would need a long enough lead so you could start the summon. A 10 second lead. Of course, all while not finding any Velium Wolves or more ice burrowers. I also don't know if they leash so will they just chase forever or break aggro and regen hps if you run too far away?

It seems finding a bored epic Druid to help would be much easier. So much easier.
